Abstract: With simple structure, excellent reliability, low cost, no restriction at depth of water, and easy control and operation, airlift pumps have special advantage in borehole hydraulic jet mining, ...

Abstract: Concrete-filled steel tubular (CFT) columns have been used increasingly in building structures because of their construction efficiency and provision of high stiffness and strength. A relatively new configuration design ...

Abstract: The phenomena that occur during the early age of concrete curing are complex, as the coupling between chemical-thermal-hydration and mechanical effects must be considered. Among the main attributes that govern the nonlinear ...

Abstract: Deformations in dam structures can have a critical impact on dam safety and life. Accurate methods for dam deformation prediction and safety evaluation are thus highly needed. Dam deformations can be predicted based on ...
